Meals in England – a guide for visitorsMeals and SnacksBreakfast, lunch, and dinner are the three main meals. A lot of workers have a 10-minute break in the morning (one name for this is ‘elevenses’) when they stop work to enjoy a cup of tea (or coffee) with a biscuit. They have a similar break for a drink and a snack in the afternoon. Many hotels and restaurants in England serve ‘afternoon tea’ between 2–5 p.m. This is a light meal of tea, sandwiches, and cakes and it’s very popular with shoppers and tourists.

BreakfastA traditional full English breakfast is what many hotels serve to guests. It includes egg, bacon, sausage, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, and toast, with tea or coffee and it contains around 1,000 calories (women need around 2,000 calories a day, and men need around 2,500). However, most people start their working day with a piece of toast or some cereal – some don’t have anything at all.

LunchLunch is between midday and 1.30 p.m., and in England people are more likely to have a smaller meal in the middle of the day. For example, a sandwich and a packet of crisps, or a takeaway, which they can eat at their desk. They often work while they eat. If it’s someone’s birthday, a group of people who work together might go to a restaurant or a pub for lunch.

DinnerDinner (also called ‘supper’ in the south of the country and ‘tea’ in the north) is the biggest meal of the day and we have it between 6 and 8 p.m. In the past, the traditional evening meal was ‘meat and two veg (vegetables)’ then a pudding, and, on Fridays, a lot of people ate fish. Today, many families enjoy a traditional dinner on Sundays, but during the rest of the week we like to cook lots of different things, including food from other countries. Indian food is now more popular in England than fish and chips. Around two million of us go to Indian restaurants every week!

2Jane This soup is delicious. Did you make it yourself?Imogen Yes, it’s very easy to make. You only need onions,

olive oil, salt and pepper, and a little cream to put on top. You can add some chicken as well, but I didn’t put any in today.

Tony You’re a great cook, Imogen. What are we having after the soup?

Imogen Wait and see.

3Imogen Here’s the main course. Jamaican chicken and rice

– my grandmother was born in Jamaica and she taught me how to make this when I was a child.

Ed It’s really nice.Tony I agree. The meat is very tasty.Imogen Well, enjoy it. There’s lots more rice, if you want, but

only a little chicken.

Erica What’s that?Nathan One of your magazines. Oh, let’s do this food quiz.Erica OK.Nathan Question 1. Fruit juice is better for you than milk.

True or false?Erica That’s true, because milk has more calories. Fruit

juice is better.Nathan You’re wrong. Fruit juice is bad for your teeth and

there’s more sugar in it! Next question. People in England have a healthier diet than people in Scotland. True or false?

Erica There isn’t any difference. People eat the same things in England and Scotland.

Nathan No, in England people eat more fruit and vegetables, so they get more vitamins. And in Scotland they have more salt in their diets, and salt is really bad for you.

Erica Oh, dear. I love salty food.Nathan Next question. You eat more in winter. True or false?Erica True! I eat when I’m cold and I always put on four or

five kilos during winter.Nathan Well, it says here that you don’t eat more in winter,

but you don’t go out much when the weather’s cold. People are heavier in winter because they don’t exercise.

Erica Ask me another.Nathan True or false? Short fat chips are better than long thin

chips.Erica Of course, they are! They’re much tastier.Nathan I mean they’re better for your health.Erica Yes, I know you’re talking about health! And the

answer is it’s true because long thin chips have more oil on them.

Nathan Correct!Erica How much longer is this quiz? I’m hungry!Nathan This is the final question. Chocolate is good for you.Erica Well, I love chocolate, but I don’t think it’s good for

my health. There’s a lot of sugar in it and a lot of calories.

Nathan Yes, but the magazine says that some scientists found out that eating a little chocolate each day helps people to relax and feel happier. Where are you going?

Erica To the kitchen to get a bar of chocolate. I want to find out if the scientists are right!
